Also, a graph of gun ownership by country shows that the US has 1.2 guns in civilian hands PER person. That is WAY more than Canada, Mexico, or any other 1st world country,
To give a very crude summary.......The US is the PROBLEM and Australia is the SOLUTION.

Gun laws of Australia - Wikipedia
Some of that legal framework on gun control is quite interesting.
And it probably would lessen the number of mass shootings, no matter how you define them.
